This Bitter Earth
Jesse, an introspective black playwright, finds his political apathy called into question by his boyfriend, Neil, a white Black Lives Matter activist. In this intimate and poetic new play, the couple must reconcile their passions and priorities as they reckon with issues of race, class, and the bravery it takes to love out loud.
